I've read more of the discussion now, but am
still catching up. It's early, so i won't get into much right now. However, a few things struck me. To a conservative, socialist IS a dirty word.
A filthy word because its essentially Communism light as far as i'm concerned. I don't know how old most of you are, but i'm in my mid fifties and grew up with the the threat of Soviet communism. I was not one of the idiots who joined the counter culture during the sixties. Many of the leftists from the 60's and 70's are now entrenched at our countries' colleges and poisoning the minds of young people. Ayers is a prime example. I, like a lot of other people are just extremely frustrated that so many people are just ignoring the associations
that Obama has had for many years. Well, i want to catch up on the posts then i'll post more.
Oh yes, before i forget it, the post, i think it was from rl awhile back about the success of the Iraq War was wonderful. Well said indeed
